When I got my Instant Pot, I was able to retire my 46-yr-old Miro 4-quart old-fashioned pressure cooker for which I can no longer find replacement parts easily. BTW, I had no trouble making bean soups in a 4-quart pressure cooker. Our favorite was a vegetarian lentil soup that had a tablespoon of brown sugar in it, plus a tablespoon or two of tarragon vinegar added at the end. No need to pre-soak the lentils, either--just rinse them.
I can brown things in the Instant Pot, add other ingredients, and then switch to slow cook. It takes the place of two kitchen appliances in our cottage-of-little-storage-space.
